Tim Lincecum (2-1, 3.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 31.1 INN, 43 SO's)

Some Notes:

- Lee and Theriot currently tied for MLB HR lead for the month of May.

- Marshall pitched two shutout innings in relief against the Giants last year and picked up the W. It was his only appearance against them last year.

- Lincecum was 2-0 against the Cubs last year with a 2.57 ERA in 14 innings.

Marshall pitched two shutout innings in relief against the Giants last year and picked up the W. It was his only appearance against them last year.

I was at that game. Marmol gave up 5 runs in the 9th to blow it and then Marshall pitched scoreless relief in extra innings and singled to start the winning rally.

What? This game? Lincecum is going to [expletive] our [expletive] up. :(

I like our odds.

Maybe we'll get lucky and face the computer-generated Linceum from the MLB 2K9 commercials. He shows up late for practice, listens to horrible 80's music, and needs to "put a towel" on (as far as the "big unit" is concerned). Sounds like we may have a chance against him.

5 in a row would be sweet.

Cubs usually crush good pitchers and suck against bad ones.

Cubs win 6-2.

Sammy Sofa · May 5, 2009

Cubs win, 4-3.

day game after night game, who sits tommorow? ramirez probably, bradley, soto maybe?

Friendly Confines · May 5, 2009

Cubs usually crush good pitchers and suck against bad ones.

Cubs win 6-2.

Too bad this didn't hold true for the playoffs

Bote McBoteface · May 5, 2009

Soriano

Theriot

Fuku

Lee

Hoff

Hill

Fontenot

Scales

That's my expected lineup.

I don't expect to win.

CyHawk_Cub · May 5, 2009

Marshall is gonna have to give up nothing, & the Cubs will have to get into the Giants 'pen for a shot at a win, IMO. Since the Giants offense is horrid, I think the first part is possible...maybe the Cubs can make Lincecum throw a boatload of pitches & get him out of the game....

tfarks · May 5, 2009

I'm thinking Bradley plays. Lou is gonna want his lefties. Of course that may mean Hoff starting in RF

CubbieBum · May 5, 2009

He'll hate me for saying it but Andy texted me saying the win streak is bittersweet because he has had 1 game thread starter win in three years and in my first go around I have four. I don't have a problem with that. Does anyone other than Andy?

Hey that's right...these should be my wins! :evil:

Schwarber Fan · May 5, 2009

Aram will play, he hasn't played for a like a week. As long as he's healthy, he'll go.

If the Cubs can pull this off, I'll believe they're for real.

apete6 · May 5, 2009

Here comes the forfeit lineup:

Gathright

Theriot

Fuku

Ramirez

Hoffpauir

Fontenot

Hill

Miles

If he gives Theriot the day off, substitue Scales for him.

Derwood · May 5, 2009

In a bizarre turn of events, the bullpen pitches 5 1/3 scoreless innings after Marshall gives up 5 in 3 2/3, but the Cubs rally to win 7-5.

kujay · May 5, 2009

Day game after night game. Often means 2-1 game. Depending on the wind, I can see that today. I'll go with Cubs 2-1 since they have a better lineup with someone more capable of getting the big hit late.

Bote McBoteface · May 5, 2009

The Cubs need to realize that a large part of the reason we have such a big fanbase is because of WGN games, stop being cheapasses and pay the stupid superstation tax, and let me watch a couple games.

Friendly Confines · May 5, 2009

WOW

Gathright, CF

Miles, 2B

Fukudome, RF

Lee, 1B

Hoffpauir, LF

Fontenot, SS
